Chapter 0137

Violet felt devastated, engulfed in a deep sadness.

Then, her phone unexpectedly rang. She glanced at it, half–expecting Lucius, but saw Oliver’s

name instead.

Knowing Oliver’s call wouldn’t bring good news, she decided not to answer.

Oliver didn’t call again. Instead, a different number appeared.

Violet answered tentatively. “Hello, Ms. Violet. I’m Mr. Wickham’s driver. Could you please come

to Island Cafe?”

Although puzzled, Violet recognized the driver’s number and voice.

She prepared herself, and informed Naomi before leaving.

Instead of the driver, her father met her at Island Cafe.

father contacting her through his driver.

Patrick sat in a private booth, his face somber and devoid of any emotion upon seeing Violet. He

didn’t even bother to greet her.

Violet was unsettled, yet there was a small sense of relief that her father cared enough to meet

her.

Her anger and resentment quietly melted away as she softly called out, “Dad.”

Patrick, without a word, stood up and raised his hand.
